 Lexi's MawmawNov 21, 2008
By Melissa Murray
I got this for my 5 yr old grand daughter's birthday. I read the reviews AFTER I got the product and was worried because some said it didn't light up!? BUT it DOES after the brush is held over or dipped into the paint that comes with it. It took about 10 seconds for it to 'recognize' the paint color at first then she was off to the races. The only draw back is there isn't alot of the paint and it's a clear gel, but you can buy more of it and different colors than the primary ones it comes with. The brush is 'chunky' so it's perfect for little hands. Says it won't work on any other surface like other paper other than what comes with it and that remains true. So there is NO mess or accidents of carpets, tables, bare floors, etc. I'd highly reccomend this product to anyone IF you can find it. That was one very difficult thing we ran into. Found it at Johnny's toys store in Covington Ky and it was the LAST ONE but they held it for me. :)

 Bad for lefties & expensive suppliesDec 25, 2008
By Ali Smith
Both my kids are lefties and I didn't realize this product was really for right-handed kids. The brush attaches to the right side of the pain base instead of in the middle like many other products. In the picture the child is holding the brush with his left hand, but he is to the side of the paint set not in front of it as the product is intended to be used. I would not recommend this product for a lefty.
Also, you have to use their paint and paper. That is significantly more expensive than basic paints. Im not sure cleanup is actually easier. You clean up paint with color or this colorless form, but there is still 'paint' to clean up.
Fun factor- both my kids love this. It is more fun than basic paint. They definitely prefer this to regular paint!
My kids would give this product 5 stars. I give it 2 stars because it is awkward for a lefty to use. The supplies are very expensive and cant be substituted. I couldn't find extra paint or paper where I bought the product either. I worry about finding supplies. I would not have bought it but it was the only thing my daughter asked santa for.

Don't waste the moneyNov 15, 2008
By liz's Mom

This uses the Color Wonder Finger paint And Coloring Book. (Which to me isn't really 'mess free'. ) Add batteries to the paintbrush and the brush lights up the color of the finger paint as it is dipped in the color. The directions say 'clean the brush after dipping it into each color'!! For a 4 yr old they want to mix all the colors, and they still want to put their fingers in it, to finger paint.
The 'light brush' is neat when it lights up, but to put batteries in, having to wipe the brush clean after dipping into each paint, then having to wash the brush after each use, you might was well just get the plan old finger paints. My child wanted to still put her fingers into the 'mess free paint' too, so I then had to wash her all up. I didn't think this was 'mess free' as advertised, a bit time consuming cleaning, and why spend the extra money for a 'light brite' brush you have to clean.

 What a dissapointment!Dec 26, 2008
By P. Acker
"MJ's Mom"
My sister bought this toy for my daughter for Christmas because my daughter LOVES to paint. Even though it says ages 5+, my 4 yr old daughter is WAY too advanced in her artwork to use this toy.
Color Wonder products are really only artistically suitable for toddlers. Children can't see what they are making because it takes a few seconds for the colors to appear. The brush is also very clunky and the paint was sticky, so she was not even able to make the simplist shapes or write her name.
The colors are very muted - "red" is actually a washed out pink. This wouldn't be a problem but they don't match the colors on the lids. My daughter waited and waited for it to "finish" turning from clear into the color shown, but only the yellow and purple are bright.
The brush doesn't light up except when it is next to the paint jar. The box clearly shows the brush lighting up over the paper while painting - so maybe this one is defective. It might have been more fun if she could have painted with the light up brush. We would have taken it back, but all the stores are closed on Christmas day!!
My daughter was constantly frustrated - despite that, she TRIED really hard to like this new toy from her favorite aunt.
It's only the day after Christmas, she only has 5 or 6 scribbly looking paintings, the paint is over half gone, and the batteries are already dead!
What a dissapointment!

This is definitely a NO MESS paint kit!Dec 10, 2008
By LuvBeingMom76

I was worried what this would be like when my daughter received this as a gift last month. But she absolutely loves it and the brush is great for those little hands too. It is totally mess free and there are refills out there. I have found that Target carries a bigger supply of this than most stores. I just read some reviews about this on here and we haven't ran down the batteries yet and I have no problems w/ this item at all. I plan to get this for my friends daughter right now and ship it to her for her birthday. This is great for the little ones that want to learn how to paint and get out of that finger painting stage. I hope this review helps and you will be happy with this product I am sure.
